HTC Touch Pro2 and HTC Touch Diamond2 Hands On!

HTC hooked us up with a couple of bad ass new phones — the much awaited Touch Pro2 and the Touch Diamond2. The Touch Pro2 has stole our hearts, we’re not going to lie. But, we’ve got reviews cookin’ on both of these, so in the meantime check out some flicks, comparison photos, and other random snaps on this wonderful Saturday!

Biased Much?
You say Touch Pro 2 and some Nokias won’t even be able to render the games Pre will be able to once things are said and done. And you know this how? When I say applications will be limited on Pre I say this because their entire development language is interpreted (CSS, HTML, Javascript) and not compiled bytecode. Anyone who has done any development will tell you that an ASCII file that has to be interpreted to run will never be as efficient as a compiled application. Do research on your own about the difference between interpreted languages vs compiled ones or ask anyone who knows the difference.

You are going purely on speculation and marketing hype, I am basing my information on known fact … and you name yourseld “biased much?” LOL.

What will the price point of the North American TP2 be once it comes out back half of Q2? I am seriously thinking of getting this over the BlackBerry Onyx when it comes out. And will the unlocked TP2 have the front facing camera?

I have one of these and there are some issues, hopefully 6.5 will sort. If you install TOMTOM 7 it will kill the BlueTooth

SMSs come in with reciept time 1 hour ahead

Sycing with mor than one PC. (home & work) sucks, but this is a 6.1 issue.

Other than that best phone HTC have produced so far, good looks, responsive, interface works well.

I am eager to get my hands on this phone (HTC Touch Diamond 2)

I also appreciate the fact that it’s supposed to come with a removable SD card – the main reason I want the new phone – besides the new TF3D and the excellent screen.

But how in the world will I ever be able to live without a Dpad? It will take a bit of getting used to.

I am not getting, what does everybody have with their stupid 3.5 mm head jack. Why does it matter if you use the one HTC gives you or you have a 3.5 mm head jack. I had HTC devices for years now and I always have the HTC jack, no problem. There is adapters as well that translate everything you need from HTC to 3.5. What is the big deal.

I see other complaints are real, but this one seems to just be not understandable. Sorry, get over it and just make it work …

@Dark Lord
You obviously are not very active then. When I was with tmobile I had a Dash that I had to return for service twice because the USB came loose and I couldn’t charge. I work out a lot and while you are constantly moving and listening to headsets the movement loosens the port eventually. Exact same with my Tilt on AT&T. The mini USB for headsets should not be used if you are going to be doing lots of movement like exercise. It is a very poor decision to use that dual purpose port. I have never had issues with my curve or iPhone and those go through my heavy workout routine. Because if this I will NEVER buy another device without a dedicated jack for headphones.

Who?

@Christopher Cox

If you were really as active as you say you are I’m surprised you don’t use a pair of Bluetooth headphones. I’ve had a set of Cardo S-2’s for over a year and I love them. Lose the cord.

Christopher,

Thanks for the explanation, I have never thought of it this way.
makes Sense to me.
